Interpretation
Children learn to ask questions spontaneously. They learn to surpass themselves; the aim is not to meet expectations but to consciously break them. Because the more unexpected the questions, the more difficult it will be to answer them seriously.
Instructions
-
A child sits on a chair. The children in the rest of the group (who are standing) now start asking questions that can be answered with one word.
-
The seated child now does this, but only with the word "sausages".
-
As soon as the child starts laughing, they change places and another child comes into the middle.
Variants
Of course, other words can also be used. A funny word can also be defined by the children in advance.
Tips
Children need to think up questions spontaneously. There should never be a pause, but at the same time care should be taken that individual questions are heard and not lost in confusion. Instead, the responding child trains his concentration on a single word and does not laugh!
